Abstract
[en] After the financial crisis of 2008, it was clear that investors were craving more transparency, liquidity and protection. Hedge fund managers saw an opportunity in the UCITS directive to launch UCITS compliant hedge funds and hedged mutual funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Previous studies have shown that the performance of funds drives the capital flows but no research has yet discovered whether the flows of liquid hedge funds and pure hedge funds are driven by their respective past performance. Using two different asset pricing models and a panel regression, this research suggests that liquid hedge funds are more sensitive to hedge funds' performance while hedge fund investors do not appear to react to positive liquid hedge funds' performance.
